All right, buddies. Let's go. It is Barnburner on a Tuesday, Tuesday, the something of November. Still November. Yeah. It is, it is still November. Are we interrupting someone here? I'm not sure. It's, uh, maybe he's on a heater on some online gaming. He's got his Candy Crushing, what it's, got his Betway app going. He's playing a little bit of poker. Some black jacket. Have we started? Yeah. Oh, yeah, we did. I didn't know we started it. for it. Yeah. There's a lot there. It's a lot there. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, we got a show for you today. We got stuff to do. It's a busy day, man. It is a big day in the history of our existence on this planet. I don't want to overstate things, but today is the day we launch our beer, friend. Barn burner blonde. We gave birth to it. Should we just drink those ones? Cut the cord.

These are just replicas. Yeah, those are just for show. No, it's killing them. Like, he has not tried it. He's not tried it. He's not smelt it. Those were the cans. I forget where they got those made.

Again, the guys at Origin Brewing did everything. Got the cans, got the recipe, got the everything. We're just supposed to show up. They're doing all the hard work and we're going to help drink some beer. Oh, please, hard work. You know how much takes out of me when I start drinking? Yeah, it's going to be a big effort. Can high kick that high, so I'm going to be working too.

What are you going to do? I don't know. Probably complain. Yeah. I'll find something to be upset or pissy about it. That's when you're happiest is when you're miserable. So I hope I wish you will. Tonight, now I don't really know what to say because it sounds as though it's a bit of a sold-out event.

If you do not have a reservation, thank you for supporting us, but don't be there. You're just going to Strathmore, the fire hall is going to be all worried. read what capacity. Hey, if you got a reso, we'll see you tonight. Otherwise, stay tuned. We'll tell you where you can get the beer in stores soon. The other thing is if you've RSV paid. Receivabit.

And it's, oh, geez, you know what? We're not going to go. Oh, you can't make it. Then email and say, hey, you know what? We're not going to be able to make it. No skin off our nose. It'll just let somebody else. They've got waiting lists and that sort of thing.

We'll just, we'll have a hell of a good time today. And apparently, if you are coming, apparently. Tour start. 7 o'clock sharp. Seven bells. Get off for me. nose? Is that where it comes from? I was wondering

about the skin off the nose. What are we alluding to here? Where's that? I think it is a thing, but yeah. Is it not skin off? That's no skin off my nose. Isn't that the saying? I don't know. It's the saying at all. Skin off no.

Skinny. Skinnerama. Skin off my back. No skin. I'll Google it. Jack. Tell more about, uh, okay. No skin off my. I'm saying no skin off my teeth, no skin off my nose, no skin off my back. Used when no skin off my nose, used when you want to say that it makes no difference to you what someone else does or thinks.

I knew as I said, I didn't know what it meant. So if no skin off my nose, I don't really give a shit. No skin off someone's nose. Why do we say no skin off my teeth? I've never, no, I got to know. something isn't too much of a concern. Okay, we get it. I feel like we're getting bogged down here, man.

What we're saying is, if you're coming, looking forward to seeing you. And if you're not coming and you're RSVPed, you're coming, just RSVP back and say, I'm not RSVP and I'm saying them out so that other people can RSVP. We're more confused than where we were. That's exactly it. I don't know.

I still have to come, though. You're welcome. You're welcome. What a match at the dome last night. I can't believe those losers won the cup last year. I mean, you know what I mean? You know, I had that Jack Eichel anytime. What are you doing, bud?

Breakway? No. Did Zerry point though. Yeah, Connor's Erie. DZone assist. Dada boy. Called it. Yeah.

It's high skill event. I had to go back. Where did he touch that? Oh, just right there. I see. Okay. Yeah. Could have been the goal.

Sure. Got it. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. So what, I mean, we've got a very, we've got a VIP in the We got a special guest. It's, someone's in the chat saying, man, what a cool moment that was for Dusty.

Well, who's Dusty? Who's Dusty, Redd? I'm moving. Yeah, Red, get out of. Porting people in. So we got, we got someone sitting next to the rail. We'll get them to slide over. Bro, we're in front of you, sir.

There we go. Yeah, you're going to want that right in front of your job. Pointed at your yap. And then away we go. Welcome. How are you, buddy? Good, guys. Thanks for having me.

It's awesome. Yeah. A little bit of a whirlwind. Yeah. It took 24 hours, I guess. Yeah. Well, no offense, but 24 hours ago didn't know who the hell you were. No skin off your nose.

We had no idea who the hell you were. And then by about 7 o'clock, oh boy, this is a thing. Well, early, very early. And you look calm as a cucumber, but everyone else was freaking out. Like, this kid might be going in. No, I got to, because Jack is, what did you put in the chat group last night? When Dan Vodar got kind of bumped and run. We'll explain all of this.

dusty nickel shitting his pants is what so you put into the chat we now have a chance to confirm or deny were you shitting your pants when that our car run into no I was actually uh it was I was I was such a world when I think I might have blacked out for a moment to you honestly that it was uh kind of thing it was actually it could ever ask kind of what was going through my mind um kind of besides just it was kind of like is this really happen right now like like maybe the last three years. minutes. You know, something goes on.

They're not three minutes into the game kind of thing. And, uh, uh, first of all, you know, got to be, I got to the rink and. Well, I guess let's let, let's let, yeah, let's go back to the, because Markstrom gets to the rink. Yeah, they showed the video. And then figures out pretty quick. He's going downhill in a hurry. He's not feeling well.

I got to get out of here. So it's the old ebug. Right. Emergency backup goaltender situation. Yes. You're not allowed to have three. Gary won't let you have goalies. He's not fun.

So are you the first guy that they called or do you think they went through a couple? Like I'm not trying to say that. No, and there would be a, hey, can you be an ebug for us this year? I'm sure there's a list of guys, right? Yeah, yeah, I bugged with them last year and then kind of started doing this year. And I've been skated with the guys. I've ever been here and there and taking practice with them in summer skates and guys are doing rehab and one-on-one skates been jumping out with them.

So I had a feel for it a little bit, but definitely that was a new, new scenario to go through that whole, that whole show of it all. So a few more people in the stands than when you're a couple, yeah. Okay. And I guess that's the thing with being the e-bug. You're not going to have a lot of notice. That's why it's an emergency situation. The E stands for emergency.

Yeah. Yeah. So you, it's a 730 game. You get, how, I walk us through it. I know you kind of talked about it last night for the people that missed it. You are the, you are the e-bug of the day. Yes.

So how did it go? Yeah. I started, I kind of, I woke up at a kind of little afternoon nap and a quick little Twitter now and I woke up and kind of rolled over my phone and saw a text. from Jason LaBarba there and usually if he's texting you a couple hours before the game, something's up. So I quickly looked at it and then right below it was a text from Mike Burke and

they're like, uh, maybe you just kind of maybe be ready. You got one of the guys not feeling too good. Uh, I don't even change anything. Just be ready. I was like, oh, maybe you should start getting ready a little bit earlier. The adrenas definitely started spiking a little bit. And what time is that, a prox? That was probably between 5, 5.30-ish. Yeah, that's not one of them. Yeah. And then even just getting into the dome and out on a game day, like you get you, I think you're hustling, right? It's like, I live across the street from the dorm. My gear's ready in my truck. Perfect. Okay. I just grab a snack out the door and rip downstairs and out where you go. So you get, do you have to explain what's happening for them to let you down into the back of the rank or do you have to like walk in with the fans?

No, quite often we go down to go down to, we go down to, so all those security guys there. You get a pass coming in there. and this time was a little different because they kind of watched me walking a little earlier. I was going to say you're going in. It's like, that's not a flames bag. Your pads.

Your pads look like shit. Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Yeah. They were certain for my game past. I don't think we got time for this. We got to go.

Yeah. So you get in there. You go down to the room. And we, because we kind of saw it. Okay, get in here and hurry up, get some stuff.

It looked like, because I saw you walk in. It looked like you had the new stick when you went out for warm up there. Didn't finish with that stick. No, I said, And then it broke on you. Yeah.

So you're taking, you're taking warm up. And there's no, it's fine. You're going to open the gate. This is as much as it's going to be. And then early in the game, Vlodar gets hit hard into the net. It was not one of those bumps. There's no diving. He gets hit hard.

Give us that moment. I kind of looked around and honestly, I was kind of thinking maybe I should have got my skate sharpened because the guys that asked me for, although the nights my skates are feeling a little, though, like, there's probably a bad time to ask get my skate chirping right now. Oh,

yeah. So, uh, no, a lot kind of shock and I was, I kind of saw it around a little bit and, uh, like,

like, I was trying to stay calm about this and see where this all goes and, kind of figure the scenario that hopefully you'd be, you know, you'd be able to battle it out a little bit. Yeah. And it'd have to be probably pretty bad. It'd be three minutes into a game through an ebug in there with

absolutely no games and nothing. So, yeah. Uh, once you got up and started to skate around, I was like, okay, little bit of a breath there and still kind of blocked.

Yeah, I did a little bit of homework. It says here, Dusty Nickel 32 in 0910 and then 1011. You played for the Canucks, not Vancouver, the Calgary Canucks. Right. So again, that was, you're undrafted. You played for the wrong Canucks. The right Canucks or whatever. Yeah.

And then the Kinders League Clippers, a quick little five games. Yeah. and then some Mount Royal Cougars, one game? Is that what I'm not being? That is correct. Four years of school and one game played. With a sparkling four point zero goals against. Yeah.

The 452 in Kindersley of the SJ. How the hell did you get to be the eBuck? Oh, this gentleman. Come on, Dean. Found the roll down the third string, I guess. Just getting the third string backup goal and bracket. It's going all the way. Based on what criteria.

come on. He's got to be good in the room. He's a beauty. There's no other way this happens for sure. But truthfully, I'm having some fun with you. But how did it get to be that you were on their radar at all for being the emergency back? Just being a college guy,

I guess, in the city. And I think, like, if you kind of had either UFC guys or Mount Royal guys. And a few years ago, I think it was one of the other guys and kind of just passed a torch long. And they asked him to know anybody.

Cooper was with the, yeah, it was one of the years. And we were kind of on off of practice of work and all that. And then kind of took on a full. time last year up until March area there. And yeah, it's just they kind of keep the local guys around and obviously not really anticipating this scenario to happen too often.

But it's, it's fun to be around it and skate again and be around the room. You obviously, you know, once you're going to play and you kind of miss being around a room and yeah, yeah, yeah. And obviously to do it at that level with those guys, it's a blast. Well, and I'm looking like you're 10 years removed from college hockey. This has got to be, you're, you've extended this nicely just to keep playing hockey being around the guys are you playing like in the uh any of the leagues around town i know there's a bunch of good ones of downtown oil and gas guys or whatever like are you are you on a men's league

team how are you keeping sharp or is it just any e bug work you get uh no i play some men's league i play with and kind of subrown with some buddies that i know and uh had a you know pretty tight seven five men's league of 1045 on you know monday night last week and that was uh last time we were out there and uh we got to try to spend the ice more jacquit and it's hockey's always got to be around There's not enough back pressure in men's hockey. You know what? The scores go up because there's no one's back checking. The grade A's through the roof.

You really can't look at the numbers. It's not fair. Really not committed to defense. One way players. Now, I think you talked about this. But how many, so how many times have you gotten the call and been on the bench to back up? I think it's probably good,

I think at least two now years. A few years ago in Nashville. Yeah. I was kind of late in the game. It was like 10 minutes left and go down the room, get dressed. What happened? Is someone got hurt or someone's not feeling good? Like, walks.

I think it was. I can't remember. Somebody got hurt at the end or something like that or knee or sweet knee. Would it be same two goals is this now? René got hurt. René got hurt. And then I think Soros got thrown in and then just kind of dressed and just kind of sit in the room during those scenarios. I don't think they can put you on the bench mid game, right?

So then there was a scenario. Then last year with Washington, early on in the year, same thing happened. I think Kemper got hurt at some point in the game and like halfway through the game and say that he's kind of go down and get dressed. Yeah. because I wonder what would happen there. If, because last night you're obviously, you're the flames emergency backup,

then what if one of the other team's goalies gets hurt? If you go down to the hall, you need another e-book. Are you going down to get another? Like, who else is on the list? Yeah, I think we were kind of confused about that last year too because when Washington, when their guy came down there,

like, I could go on the bench now. And I think if there's somebody have to stay neutral in case, some else on their team goals and you can't go on the bench and you're on a roster. And I don't know how that all works. And that's for, like, Berkey to figure out.

all the old guys, they know what's going on there. I just kind of follow instructions and they just tell me where to go. So you were in the room before, during, after, you got the full experience. What, give us, give us some dirt. Yeah, but he's some good stuff. Who was the biggest? He took one right in the, right in the jib. He's a tough guy.

Yeah, man. After the room, after the game, I mean, so I thought he was probably going to the hospital. Yep, we all about that. Yeah. And I don't know, he's in the room, walking around. I'm like, I don't know. Like, wild. I don't talk this guy's made of.

It's like, does he have a nervous system? Can you feel pain? Tough as well be. It's insane. It's absolutely nuts. So what do you do when last night, Vlodar, obviously, are you just trying to stay? Obviously, you're staying out of everybody's way. Is he talking to you? Does he not want to talk to you?

What's your approach there? Yeah, I just try to stay all the guys as much as possible, let them do their thing. And I know, they probably all have their, you know, their routines. But the guys are all good. They're pretty inclusive when you get there. And they're trying to get me to play sewer ball and hang out with the guy. You know, we're chatting in the room before. and um they're also but most talk yeah you know everyone's kind of got their thing you just try to

stay out of the way as much as possible and bloody was good kind of came up in the interracur i was like gamers water bottle and that was kind of what no pointers did you give them you know what that glove hands a little low there dad dan they're going for your glove or just i keep whatever if if you did it worked yeah it was tremendous last awesome game yeah that felt like a big one for him like not just to get too micro but we literally had the conversation you know so like what what's going on with this guy. Is there anything still there? That was a statement game from Dan Vlodar. I'd say maybe his first of the year, do you know?

Yeah, it was easily his best. I don't know if I could go back last year. I'm sure the year before there's probably been a few here and there, but. Yeah, a nice fall. Any goaltender could not have played much better last night. Correct. Right? That was about as close to a perfect goaltending performance as you could get. Boys must have been thrilled about that one, seeing him have a good one.

It's one of those ones like, remember where Heward O scored? It's just like, okay, they care. Same thing. gets the win mob them that's something they need it would stink if you're in there and it's just a horse shit game and they're getting lit up and they're losing oh this is the worst thing ever god oh my seven nothing coach is just tearing guys what husk was just a cursing and swear in there i'm sure yeah you must be just crushing the guys in between periods oh no it was awesome you guys it was a great it was an awesome environment like they're um it was just having fun they guys made it a lot of fun

for me to be there and kind of took the pressure off and just kind of enjoy yourself and kind of seize the moment and and uh you're like in the warm up just try to take it all in there's a lot going on i'm used to about eight guys on the ice with three pox and a five minute warm up and there's a lot more going on when i walked out the title i'm kidding yeah and uh take it all in what do you normally what's like this is uh what tuesday tuesday tuesday something you said that's tuesday november something yeah so on tuesday november something what do you normally doing like this is a a little change of pace you now have the best stories on your men's league team.

Yeah, I run a family construction business. So I've been doing that. So I get a lot of freedom, at least to kind of run my own hours. I get to skate with the guys and do that. And then also a goalie coach here in the city, I've been doing that for since I was about 15 years old coaching around with kids. So I do that a lot of time on the ice with that. And so for a day, Flames fans?

I was going to say, and now it's. Dusty Nickel. Oh, that's great. You had yesterday. Now, about the, what about the site in Mount Royal? Speaking of it. How are we doing that? The foundation has been poured on that?

Oh, yeah, that's great. You were playing with the flames. You said, that was going to delivered last week. What are we doing with the drywall? Where's the drywall? It's back to the real world in a hurry, I would think, for you today. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. It's been, the phone's been blowing up a lot right now. So we're kind of taken it in stride. Who's come out of the woodwork? Give us one weird name or someone you didn't expect or a cool text or maybe just something where you're like that. I can't believe that happened. I don't even know.

I have so many text messages. I have like 500 Instagram for a request overnight now. I don't even like I got, I got text messages from numbers. I don't know. I feel I haven't heard from 10 years that somehow still have my number. I don't even know. I responded to five more pop-up. Yeah, I love it.

Very nice. Well, thanks for dropping in. It was cool to see. I'm always kind of rooting for the guy to get in. Not that you want anybody to get hurt. Yeah. But it becomes the even better stories. Shit, here we go.

You looked calm. You didn't give us a clean answer on the shitting his pants or not, but you looked calm. On TV, you looked calm as a cue come. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. No, I think there was some pants. shitting go out. Definitely.

Dusty, thanks for jumping in. Good to see you. We'll take a quick break, bring retro in. We'll talk about the game next. And we're at it. It's quick. It's bang. Yeah. I didn't sleep at all last night. No, I bet you didn't. Really, eh? No, I bet you didn't sleep at all last night.

That's what they say, Rhett, your first NHL game, you never sleep. There you go. So, uh, getting on to the game itself, is that what we expected? I know yesterday when we were kind of setting up the game, Vegas starts 10, 0 and 1. one, they're out of the gates like a, like a shot. And then as soon as that ended, very 500, very average. Offense has kind of gone away on them here as of late. There's still those, you can see this, you can see that it's obviously still there, but this, they're, they're in a bit of a slump here right now.

Yeah, you can see Cassidy talking about post game. He rattled off about six to eight scoring chances off the top of his head in chronological. You're like, oh yeah, they definitely. created enough to win, but it's a group that looks a little snake-bitten tonight and Dan's Lidar's best game of the year. And I thought it was a close game where Vegas probably just has a bit too much of the

flames and it switched the goalies. That probably is how it finishes. But Lidar was great. I picked the 5-2 win from Flames, so I'm pretty close to being in there. Did you? Yeah. I don't really recall that. Five-two, yeah. I remember something else from last night. You know, I stunned

Warner last night. We were on Afterburner last night. And, and I stunned them when I let them know about what the standings are. Yeah. And Jack got them because with the two points and, you know, most of the case, I get it. It's November. But in terms of where we were on this team two, three weeks ago. Wild time.

They, I get it. It's November. But they're tied for a wild card spot. Kind of. Yeah. There's two teams 500 that you don't see in that. and they've played a few more games than other teams. The point being, Ryan, Jesus Christ,

is that they're tied for a wild card spot. He doesn't like points. He likes points percentage until they're still. It's just that. They're there, man. They're right there. Yeah. And you're like, no, what?

I'm stunned. Yeah. There's still. They're still right there. It tells you one thing that it's a pretty shitty pack right now at the bottom half of the Western Conference. and it was last year this time. I think someone had it from a year ago,

and it was like someone had one more point than 500. It was like 23 and 22 games. And no one's going to get in with 82 points. That's what 500 is. 500 is your two wild cards right now, which is insane. It's going to be a better pace. And so will it be the flames? Will it be a St. Louis?

Will be Minnesota? Is it the Oilers? Somebody's going to get their shit together and play 600 hockey the rest of it. Because 500 never gets the end of the playoffs. The only time close was that shortened circus season with Montreal, all where they only played what, 48 or 56 games or something weird. But point being is you're in the fight. And that's why you're bringing it up.

It's like, okay, two or three teams that have had miserable starts, a quarter of the way through the year, you're only 500. And that's what loser points and shit. You're not out of it. We had the standings upside down. We were doing inverse standard. Yeah. At the bottom.

And I mean, and we were expecting them to stay there. And to be fair, like there are four points from being in the bottom five of the league. I was going to say. They're probably still close to the bottom. Yeah. Then the top. Now, if you want to talk about third in the division, yeah, they're a long ways out of that. But.

Well, and I think more importantly for me, I mean, I'm, like I said, I'm stunned by the fact that they're in points wise, maybe points percentage wise they aren't. But you have to give Huska credit. Big time. He's gotten them to play. They're playing with a pulse. They're playing with a little bit of purpose. They're trying. I still don't think the world beaters.

I think it's going to be an awkward situation moving forward. And it's because Huska has got them to play. He's been a really steady hand here. We haven't seen him fly off the handle. We haven't seen him pander to guys not playing well. He's been disciplining guys, but also it's like he hasn't been railroading guys. I think he's done a really nice job in an incredibly tough spot.

They were two, seven, and one, the first 10 games. Two wins in your first 10 in the NHL. Welcome aboard. Hey, fresh air. this team's going to be great this year. No more rain clouds. Two wins in your first 10. And we've seen the blenders going,

but it's paid off in a way. They've found lines. They've got some guys going. And I think when you watch the way he's handled stuff, it's been a very purposeful, thoughtful approach. He's not just reacting. He has a plan here. We've used the word dysfunctional a lot the last year and change.

Yeah. And we talked about it kind of briefly last night. You feel like they're more, of a team here right now, that they're, each line goes over the boards. They're all pulling on the rope the same way. They feel more like there, like there's some cohesion finally.

Maybe it's the lines that you, you've got that cadre line sort of figured out, at least for the time being, at Hubertoe with Backland, it's, it is what it is. But it just feels like they're more invested and there's some care. It's bad.

That's the thing that I keep going back to. Two wins in the first 10, and there wasn't a game, they won the first game, and the goal was good. Goley was good. Like, it was Deadsville.

They weren't, they were giving you nothing to think that they would actually play with any heart. They had a five-game road trip, not a single team on that road, he made the playoffs last year, and they come back with three of a possible 10 points, and you're like,

they could be as bad as anyone not named San Jose if they're going to play like that. And Fasca's found a spot where Cadry's been a really, really good contributor, now give Zeri credit, but give Kodri credit. He's playing great. He's playing like a $7 million center. There's no issue right now with not some cadre.

And he's found the best spot in the lineup for Jonathan Huberto. It's still not what you expect for $10.5 million, but it's a serviceable forward now versus like what do we even do here. And at the same time, he's gotten away to get Sharon Govich into the top nine off that fourth line. A.J. Greer's been a lovely fine. And it feels like he in the GM are working in harmony. Last year, there was a lot of players that the GM would have wanted to see in the lineup. And the coach and he weren't on the same page.

I don't see that happening right now. When we talked about Noah Hannafin on Power Play 1 last year, I feel like that's a GM and a coach on the same page, if you know what I mean. I was thinking about that last night as Greer scores again. And we know what it is. We're not fooled. But they went to the waiver wire and got a guy that's got four goals

in however many games. More than Johnny. You know, it's going to last. Okay. Definitely didn't have that on the bingo card. But I'm with you. I don't think it necessarily changes who they are in the big scope of

things. But for the time being, they got out of what looked like a death spiral and have played themselves into a conversation as of today to be a bubble team for a playoff spot. And they, I think, have a better leg to stand on if you're going to make trades or if you're going to make extensions. And I don't think anyone's here rooting for extensions. I think we've seen the power bring some youth and excitement into the lineup. But when you are down and out, good luck getting anything close to a fair deal. Ask Ken Holland about how making a deal would be right now, if he's even allowed to make a deal right now.

You're just getting shitty offers all day. I get that part of it, but I think it's more difficult for Conroy moving forward. If they're in the middle, for sure, at the deadline. And again, it's the, we're calling it the, the gauntlet run, they're two and one. It's not over. There's 12 games left in this.

And you're not going to get Danville at our first star performance is the rest of the way. Yeah, but you still don't have the vibe that it's going to be, again, I go back to, they have a pulse. Yeah. There was no pulse before. So they were dead. They were on the table. They were done.

Yeah. Like, they aren't going to come up with zero points over the next 12 games. For sure. For sure. Because they're actually competing. Yeah. And if like we said, or I said, I should rephrase, if they're 500 against this group, why not them as a wild card?

Well, you said you're in. That's what I mean. So if it's like, if you can go in these 15 games, your toughest 15 game stretch of the season, with lots of travel, two back-to-backs in there. You don't have Peltjade. You know, it's not like the sky's falling, but it's the toughest stretch of games they're going to have all year.

If you can play 500 there, there really isn't an excuse to make, to not make the playoffs, given that you're already right in that bubble range. You play 500 here. We'd expect you to be better than 500 the rest of the year because this is tougher than the rest of your schedule. Which doesn't always work.

It certainly doesn't always work that way. And last year's team especially found ways to let us down. But this year's team's already shown us a different moxie. That's their fourth, third period comeback victory of the year. They had two last year. Yeah. Like they have more gumption. They don't just like the body language doesn't flop when they give up a goal. And I have no clue because but we keep saying, well, they're competing or staying in games. They've cut four third period. How many were they down by?

Two a couple times. Okay. Like Nashville, they don't two nothing, albeit after one. But they've, they've done a good job of not just quitting. And that's what killed us last year with this group watching them play in the second. can have to be fair. I don't know if it was quitting after they got down. I think they were quitting before they started. Sure. Yeah, but bottom line is that body language isn't there. Not after 10 games. Yeah. And it's again, chicken egg. Is it different because you're winning or are you winning because things are different? I don't know. Either way it's better. Because they they do look like It's better but worse. If we get to the deadline, right? Like I don't think Connie's,

has any rush here to say, okay, we got to figure out what Zadora's worth. They're like, oh, my God, like we've got to get this extension. I don't think you're now just an information collection and you've got three months to figure this shit out. Yeah, and I don't think he's panicking either. Well, now I got to go and talk to Hanof it again

and see if he'll stay. I don't think that that's happening either. No. Oh, I don't know. I could be going, but I just. But you're right. The worst spot for this place to be on March 8 or whatever the deadline is is 8th or 9th in the West.

And like you said with the division, like they're not close to anyone. It's going to be a wildcut or nothing. So good luck with Vegas, LA, Colorado, or Dallas. That's your first round best of seven. I know you saw Vegas last night, but they're not quite right right now. I went with, with Rhett last night, kind of a, kind of a tutorial on how to block a shot and how to not block a shot. Yeah, I think I would join you at that juncture there. We gave Tanna of the Crown Royal last night.

Figured he could. Give him the whole bottle. Yeah. Because it was, he was a generous guy. He was giving his face, his chin, his upper, his torso, his upper body. Not how you would teach your kids, your 13, 14 year olds to block shots. It sounds like he's okay. I hope he's okay.

Like we wouldn't want to be sort of like making fun about a guy putting his body on the line like this. It's an incredible reckless abandon he plays with. There's zero fear of injury, which is almost impossible for humans to not think about what happens if. Like he plays a way that I don't think I can name another NHL or in terms of just putting the body in line, not caring. Just like, yeah, I'm sure, my face can implode. Don't care. It's wild. Like meaningless games, you'll see him doing stuff.

And you're like, dude, you're up or down by three. Like, get your body out of the way. Yeah. And it's like, like, you can't turn it off. Like you say, there was no, am I really going to do this? Am I going to block this shot? I don't know if I can. that he's just down.

Yeah. But again, I just get a trying to hand. What would you do? What would you kind of a tip? Wow. I mean, I'm elite. We wouldn't be in our end. I'd have been playing.

That's correct. I can't compare. I didn't spend a lot of time in my own end. It's tough when you see those in person. Yeah. On the blood too last night, immediately, you're like,

I thought it was a stick follow through it first because I thought it looked like a low release, but he was way down there. God, that is just like, look at him. It's, I just need to block it. Oh, my lord. He's thinking that Carlson's not an idiot and the only way to get it past him is to shoot it.

He's not going to shoot. He's going to hang on to it and keep going. Oh, man. I don't know that I've seen a guy just the pain threshold thing with him. You know what, we'll do it again, Crown Royal. Please. The generous guy, generosity comes in a number of different. ways. I didn't even have it on the, having watched it now again for the eighth, tenth,

whatever time. Chris Tanev, thank you for your service. Thank you for your service. A little crown royal. I would think that would be, you'd pour a one, right? Give him a straw if he needs it. Well, that's what I was wondering. I don't know where he's at with. The mouth region's going to be a little sore, Dean. No mix, just ice. You don't need any more. Let's just maybe a splash, a water to press it. Did he lose teeth? We don't really know a lot here. Like he could play Thursday. Would that not just be the most incredible thing you've seen? Or it wasn't that bad. Or maybe I just mean how bad it looked to like, oh yeah, he didn't miss a game. Like I thought that could have been like broken jaw season over type stuff for a miss two months.

Generosity. It lives in the small things. It doesn't need money or an audience or even acknowledgement. It just needs a few good people and Chris Tann of you are a generous guy. Crown Royal, crown everything. It doesn't take a million dollar donation or name on a hospital wing. This. This is where generosity lives. And you know what else happened last night? And you brought it up in Afterburn when you came on. If you've got your proof of admission to the game,

Greta, every time there's an overtime on home ice, you'll see Greta come up on the boards and all that. Because last year, it was, gaming cards. You'd get an X number of... They gave away a million bucks in game credits or something hilarious. Gaming credits at Greta. And I feel like you inspired this one.

It was... We've had chats with the Greta people for a couple of years now, and they really wanted that nugget puke off to be at Greta. They got their wish, and it somehow spun into the overtime wins. Anyone that has proof of admission to the game, you got a free order of nuggets at Greta. Now last night, they had a private event. But there it is. There it is. Next six days. So you basically have a week to redeem them. them go in and have some fun maybe a little Christmas cheer with some pals play some games have

some free nugs let's do it definitely play some games well yeah that's what the whole thing's about yeah definitely play some games so there you go how about Greta I just I feel like it's way too specific the chicken nuggets for it not to be tied to you you've inspired people you really have yeah that's what I am I'm inspirational yeah you are turned a lot from that's what I keep saying anyway that's not buying anything except no that's what I say I guess the other thing we haven't talked about is you hope Markstrom's going to be ready to go. It's a couple days. Get over it.

Have some orange juice. What do you do? You're a crazy person. What do you do when you have a head? Yeah. Yeah. Nebulized? What's happening here?

Did you over nebulize? Your light? Is he ill or is it food poison? I need to know the. That's, you know what? We don't have enough specifics. Yeah. That's right.

For you to go. The blue light might be great. I just got a lot of data. I need more. Doesn't want to. jump to conclusions. Yeah, that's true. That's true. So yeah, and it's kind of a quiet stretch. They had all those games on the road travel, three and four, five, or whatever it was, five and seven. They play now on Thursday Saturday. Then not again until Tuesday. So they got a couple

off days. Schedule. Need that. Maybe. Unless they play shitty, then we should have kept going. In hindsight, we'll tell you whether it was good or not. Okay. Yeah. Depending how things go against Dallas on Thursday. on Friday and we'll tell you whether I can see a better Dallas on Thursday not to suggest Flames are in trouble or anything but when you allow five unanswered you're going to get a response the next time you see that team with inside of

inside a week yeah I tried to get Dean to bite on this last night and he wouldn't because he was sleeping Dallas Flames and Dallas stars have had epic games for the last two years last Jan it was the wild six one lead that they had to hang on to win like six five

or something crazy that was a Vlodar game and then they had the back to back on the road late in the season where we thought they might have saved their playoff chances. They had the incredible late game winner against Dallas. I think it was a comeback win. Then they go to Minnesota the next night. Minnesota score was an overtime. Overruled.

They went in the shootout to foldy again. Back-to-back winners. They come home. Everyone's feeling good. Lewis to Anahe. Oh! And then prior to that, like we've seen Dallas in a playoff series two years ago. Johnny Game 7.

Like this has been really, really good hockey to watch, as low scoring as that series was, I suppose. My camera. It's going in and out. It's going on. It's bright. You're worried about yourself? Well, no, I just, it looks like the lights almost go out entirely.

Nobody cares. It looks like you. You're good. Hey. Phoenix, did you say you got Intel on a large chunk? Somebody must have come in and bought a chunk of the seats. I keep hearing second, third hand, or whatever it is, a game of telephone, but a group of pals, Lugans, they're signed up.

So a big chunk there. you clients sniffing around this and I got a text from the boss that said something's happened this week. These things are moving and we are into the final third now and not a lot left. It's not a lot left. Get in there. It's a month away. Home stretch. So close.

Yeah, you get that planned now. What are you doing? Don't procrastinate. Get out there. We gave you. And at the pace they're moving. You don't want to be left out. The Cyber Monday pricing I think is still in effect.

1299 based on double occupancy. you'll go to Phoenix with us. We got your flights, hotels, tickets to the game, flames and coyotes, Mullet Arena. Friday, you're free to do whatever the hell you want in Phoenix or Scottsdale or whatever you want to do.

And then we come back on Saturday. Yeah, sounds great. Let's go. Get your tickets. Nationgear.ca is the website, nationgear.ca. And while you're there, is today the final day for the blackout collection? It's got to be close. Did I get that email yesterday? So last, last morning, fellas, this is it. So listen, just go and do it. Nationgear.C.A.

Just get everything. Get plane, get the tickets and get the whole thing and just take care of yourself. You deserve it. Totally deserve it. Totally deserve it. I don't know what's going on with my belly today. I heard his stomach. Now, how many feet apart are we? Like five to six feet apart? It's too few.

Too close. Too close normally if you hear someone's stomach. But this was quite, I would have heard it from the other room. There's some sort of squelching and squeaking and, like a door opening. I find it interesting about the boom is that this pops up now and again and I feel like there has to be a chain of events that leads to it

and it's not, it shouldn't be surprising to him. I feel like there's something that's in the diet that causes this. That needs to be removed. But he continues to go back to it. What is the catalyst here? Like is it, are you hammering nacho? Like there's got to be something that's like,

that's your trigger. You don't know what your trigger is. This one today is probably not having the food and getting into coffee. That's my whole thing. I do that. So that's my. Yeah, because last night I was more focused on taking care because I, you know, whatever, get the kids to bed, watch the game, went to bed,

woke up this morning, got to get the kid, I'm driving them to school. I didn't have anything today. So maybe I need some food of some sort. Intermittent fasting. I guess so. I think the unintentional, yeah, intermittent fasting, yeah. Cornish was telling you about the purposeful one, not the unintentional. Yeah, that's right. years ago. He was way out of the curve on that one.

So that's a hunger pang is what that is. But I don't feel hungry. You know what? There's cheesecake. There is cheesecake in the fridge. I do get farty and bloated with dairy. How long does it take? It can happen fast.

It looks like you're about to go. You're pulling a bloody Markstrom right now. This is an ideal. Where's dusty biscuit? We need him to host. Can you come in and host the show? I'm all right, guys. I'm all right.

I'll be okay. You're a professional. I make this shit look easy. You do. Even though I'm in a great deal of discomfort. I better turn it around by the event tonight. I think you should probably have... Set her down for a little nap.

Lay it. Have explosive diarrhea at an event. Why don't you? Terrible. Spread out on the rack for a bit, hey? Start having some barn burner blonde on top of all this. Good. That's great.

It might settle the nerves. I'll have to get some garbage bags. That's what it is. He's nervous. He's got to leave the house. I need a glad garbage bag diaper or something. Social anxiety. Don't have some social anxiety a bit.

Sold out a fence. God almighty. I know. Think about how many people. Do we have a plan for what we're doing? We'll just go up and do our thing, which is to bullshit. I'm even thinking a step, like getting out there. That's an important plan.

What time? Because seven o'clock. I guarantee you if we stood on the highway with a sign. Yep. It said boomer, Pinder, Warner. We need a lift. Yeah. Some would grab us.

I did hitchhike. a few times in my life once in North America and it was Lethbridge home. I wanted to see if I could do it. It was dumb, young, idiot. It was not 24. My brain was not fully developed. And my last stretch was just outside of Calgary and the TransCanada coming into the city. And we're coming up that

highway 23 or whatever it is. And it was like right around Strathmore, got a lift in. We could do it. You hitched hiked to see if you could do it. Yeah. It was really dumb in hindsight, but it was kind of fun. It's a rather hilarious day of my life. I'm going to start walking. Hopefully somebody grabs me on the side of the road.

Doesn't do mean things. I hitched from Paris to Barcelona. That was... Barcelona. There's trains. There are trains. They were not in my budget on that trip. The hell.

Get a job, you loser. Yeah, the less I spent on travel longer, I could not have to have a job. That was the idea. Yeah. Please. Mom. You didn't have to wire back then.

Can you wire me some money? There would have been like some sort of a Western Union thing, but I don't, yeah, no, that's not a matter. I have a couple things that I just want, because I don't want to blow up the Pinder report. No, go. But we were talking about the lines, just everything else.

And it's maybe, is it too easy to point to when Zari and Pospisle showed up? And then the team turned around and now things, mood is good and all of that. I don't know. It's probably if you want to assign credit. It wouldn't be a one or a zero. It would be a significant slice of the pie, I'd think,

as the young guys count of it. You've talked about it for years, right? You talked about specifically with Codry, how he looked prior to and then after those guys showed up. Yeah, and I don't, I mean, there is an energy to it. Yeah, right. Well, even last night, was it in overtime or somewhere where you're like, there's Codry being a prick?

He's back. Where was that the second half last year? Well, he had the big hippie, the hip check on the boards there. It's like, all right. Because I saw we were getting ready for the show. and a lot of people were enjoying the hip check. Yes, he's looked, he's looked very good. If this was the cadre you've had the whole way,

you still may not like the term or the dollar, but go watch the- You wouldn't mind the dollar. It's probably the term, and you would have made the playoffs last year. Go watch the Chicago game. That Chicago game. March, or April last year.

So it soured a lot of people, man. It's soured a lot of people. Well, and you know what? To give them credit that it, this market, that doesn't get ignored. You can go play in Carolina and L.A. And a lot of places in the States, and a game like that doesn't resonate.

but like in Calgary you're going to get asked about that in the offseason that's not a lot of fun and it's either looking like a miserable six more years here or you find a way to get going and he I think Zeri's a big part of it but god he's looked good like this is the guy you wanted what do you laugh at six more year well it is and he's already 33 fellas like we know many more yeah uh dean it's so whoa and Anyway, what I was going to say with, with Connor Zeri, the NHL stats people put this online last night. That there it is. 10th point for Zeri became the second fastest flames player in the past 30 years to record their first 10 HL points.

10 NHL points. Monaghan did it in 11 and Zari did it in 12. Zari. Sorry. I don't care. Whatever. Honestly, something about those weird COVID years. and he was up and down with Camelps

and he had a major couple injuries right out of his draft class or the years when you're like, let's see him knocking on the door. It just didn't feel like there was, you know, a few years removed from that draft class, a star waiting. And I don't,

star is a pretty strong word. But look at the, look at the name he's just got put up next to it. I know. And this is a really, really pleasant surprise for the flames. Even if you were incredibly bullish on Zeri, you probably wouldn't have forecasted a 12,

a dozen games like this to start his career. I don't do social media very often, but I think Hainesie had something on there, projected points. Oh, dear. Career projected points? No, 15 seasons, 1,000 points. This year. Who's going to lead the team?

Oh, that line looks great. I don't know that Pospisal fits there forever, but right now it's working. Like if you got a Paltier back or you wanted to elevate Dube who seems like he's a bit lost in the mix. Trying to. I'm just saying, like, down the road. Let a guy be good.

Yeah, and stay there for now. For sure. Why do you hate Martin Pospisselt. Love Marty Pospicsoz. We all love Martin Pospicil. Let us and Possible. It's great. You're doing good, but we know you can't keep it up.

We know that this is just some unsustainable bullshit that you're doing right now. Try to fake us out. I think the great play. The way he plays is looks sustainable. He's the same ball of mucky was his first game. You look like you care, but we know you don't. Yeah. Snake in the grass.

We got you figured out. Fourth line. You phony. Damn effort. where are you going to put Coronado and Pelt you in your back? I have this show. Train. This is Zari's team now.

Zari's going to like those guys. There's lots of guys you can trade. So many guys you can trade. You mentioned DuBay's name again. And it's not about piling on, but he has to feel all time high, hey? Good value right now. He has to feel. You just expect you're going to get high-end picks for everyone, eh?

Like, we're going to, we got to, we got to, build up Dubay and he's not no other teams watched them like if you were interested in dubay and you're another team you know what you're saying are that freaking fooled like you know what he is you know what you're saying is this is our by low chance he's on their fourth line he hasn't been a fourth liner there for three years this is our chance to get him as cheap as you'll ever get him if you like the skill set and you say this would be a perfect guy on this wing on this line for our team how cheap as chips cheap is chips that's cheap that's what it would be right now Sure. He, I think it would be hard when your play has gone down, right?

You're not playing. You're not getting the minutes. You're not seeing the production. And then other guys younger than you come in. This would be the first time really for him. Well, what's going to happen? Another wave of young players has come in and taken time. You just said it.

Peltier and Gorn, where are they going? I'm not playing. And this is why. The way he is just because. No. And Walker Dure has already found out the hard way. Like if you're going to be flat for a couple weeks, you just, like, he's the next guy to see waivers if I'm forecasting things. Like, what's, who's taking him right now?

How's your marriage? We haven't talked about this. There's nothing. I mean, geez. I don't know what life's like in South Dakota. I'm not going to judge the man. I know what it's like. Sodak.

You been, I bet. That's close to what I pick. Let's do the Pinder report, shall we? Do the Pender report. Oh, and you know what? I was going to do one other thing. Where are you? No.

I'll let you go ahead. We'll do the Pender Report for Village Honda. Northwest Automol. I don't want you to forget. That sounds important. It's really not important. Is it a cake and coffee? Because I'm hungry now, too, that we brought it up.

You need some cheesecake? Some cheesecake and a coffee would be. What kind is it? It's a variety pack, isn't it? No, it's a cheesecake. I think it's a pumpkin cheesecake, which I don't want to turn you off. It looks really good. There's some, like, crubly cookies on top or something.

You don't like the pumpkin, right? It's poo pie. Yeah. My daughter loves it. Pooh pie? P-Pi. Let's do the Pender Report. Brought to you by

Village Honda. Huge selection of used vehicles. Huge. Huge. All makes all models. All budgets. With over 70 units on site, access to more than 400 more

in the dealership group, Village Honda should be and is your one-stop automotive destination in Calgary. They're worth the trip. Village Honda, located in the Northwest Auto Mall. Proud sponsors for some reason

of the Pinder Report. It's blackmail Dean and thank you. Here we go. We'll start with last night's game. I could try to tell you about it, but why not leave it to experts who broke it down last night? It came out of nowhere because he's not looked anything close to that all year. Do you need to give him 30 minutes notice that he's going to be starting?

Because that's what we saw tonight. They had the eBug come in and Markstrom leaves. I don't think so. But he was terrific. I just wonder maybe you don't have enough time to sit and think about it. lose sleep about it in the afternoon i don't know well what kind of goal tender are if you can't how can you be a starter or any good to anyone if you can't play if you know you're playing so i don't think that has anything to do with it i think you just played a good game yeah i mean it's

it's it's a game of inches there's a post in the first that goes in obviously that huge save in the second the kick save on the two-on-one we'll take it right yeah not going to complain about because it has been, remember Marks from struggling last year? And we're like, they should play Blodar, they should play Bladar. And then he was no good. Like it has been a long time since he's played good hockey. That's a good point about last year. He was in a really nice groove in the fall.

And Darrell just kept saying, like, I'm going to play Marks from into form, which is fine. Like, Daryl's got his strategy on net money that's worked well for him. But then when it was like, okay, even Daryl had folded the cards, last guy, the table to fold on Markstrom. Filar came in and was dog shit. It is a weird little thing. He had an opportunity to... Big time. Sure he did. Yeah. Like big time. Last Jan Feb was all

his and those were his two months of the years. If you wanted it. Instead, he didn't play a while at all. Good to see it last night. It's one game. As we know with net minding, any goalie we've never even heard of can have one good game against the best players in the world. It's a very crazy position

but sir, please keep turning these together. Make this 10, 12 games. and GM Craig will be quite happy, I think. Imagine if everyone plays well, now Conroy will have just, I can bring in, I can trade out, I've got a parade,

do whatever you want, right? Smack, yeah. What a position to be. Here's Vladar post game with his pals. Collique objecties is a lose for Disney, Viheri,

Prote Vegas. Do you want to guess what that is? Do you want to guess it? what that is in check. Suck my dick. Oh, geez. Dean. Vegas.

I speak the, what? How many hugs does Dan Vlodar deserve after tonight's win against Vegas? All of them. Similar tone, Dean. Yeah. Thanks for playing along. Let's look at their next opponent. Dallas will be here on Thursday.

They're in action tonight. Then what language am I thinking of it? Well, because I'm pretty sure. Fowl language, apparently. Crude. I was hoping the stars would be doing a Western Canadian swing, maybe a third game in Four and Nights or something.

Not really. They got a divisional battle. against the Jets tonight, and then here in Calgary on Thursday. So they'll be in with a decent amount of time, not a back-to-back or anything like that. As we talked about, I think Flames kind of embarrassed Dallas a little bit. Oh, they'll be surly. I don't think Dals. You don't think they're good.

You know what they're going to tell, well, Calgary? It's the same old thing where it's like, because we're the flames, we think the other teams are really focused. Like, no, I don't have any of those ones. It's five unanswered goal. You're up 4-2 and you lose 7-5, that's a bad look. It is a bad look, but do you think that that's going to be, who's the coach there? The guy that was just in. Yes.

Anyway, that's going to be his pre-game speech. Todd Buck. These guys scored five on you the last game and you didn't risk. No. They don't have it circled on the bingo card. Really? No. Okay.

And I'm just, you know, I'm not trying to pick a fighter or anything. I'm just thinking if I was imagining what it would be, but guys, last time we played this, we had them. It was four, two. we allowed five in a row. Like we got to finish. Talked about it, but it's not going to be a... I don't think it's a flames thing. I think it's the last time we played this group.

Like, you guys didn't finish the job. We got to finish the job tonight. I just feel like maybe I'm misreading. I feel like you're really trying to sell that Dallas is going to be jacked up. No. They've been stewing on this loss for... No, here's what it'll be better. That's all.

The players will probably be like, okay, it's Calgary. The coaches would be, listen, last time we played this, we had a lead. So the coaches will make them aware. I don't think they've lost sleep to your point. Yeah, I agree with all those. things. Now, we're on the same page here. The question I have, though, is do you circle it on a bingo card? Circle a bingo card? Maybe on a calendar? Calendar. The calendar would be better. The calendar and the schedule would be better. But if it's on the bingo card and you like that team, maybe. Yeah. If you have no shots on a

power play, that's a dober on the bingo card. You would encircle, you dob the free score in the middle for no shots. It's no skin off your nose either way. Yeah, either way. Lighting in a bucket. Okay, we'll move along front. The front door. standings looksie they're right in the mix here guys oh the one thing i was looking at like which of these teams are going to get in because i don't think st louis is great we certainly have i think st louis is good which team st plus i got like they could be good they could be applied to you i don't think they're great like there's no world beaters in here unless evanting gets their shit together edmonton and even minnesota at the bottom last two seasons 113 103 points like they make a change they just yeah we didn't talk Moments away, moments away. So there's a look at the standings. National and Arizona, your 500 teams,

they would be tied for the last wildcary. We understand what's happening. They're in the mix. They're in the mix. Make a change. One quarter pole tonight. Quarter mark. What are you?

What do you celebrate more? Is it the solstice or the quarter pole? Like, where are you at with? I'm a big solstice. You're an equinox guy. I learned that about you. Yeah. Solstice can fucking beat it.

Too late in summer? Wacked out. Too grumpy in the winter? No. Yeah, okay. Equinox, baby. Equinox for days. Patty Kane, got a deal.

Right? Shut the front door. There it is. The organic. Signing with the Red Wings, the Wings Rouge. What city did they play in? Of all the things that we've,

well, pitched our wagon to. You just shut the front door. Tuesday comments. The Teroyant, Red Wings. The Trooyant. Steve Y.

And it's going to take a multi-a-doer. It's going to take a multi-a-doer-do. He's looking for multi-year deals. How many years? What's the terms? One-year deal. Pro-rated 2.75. He'll make 2.05 million.

This freaking Stevie-Wise. That's a good deal for Steve-Wy. Has he got blackmail? He does. He's got, you know what it is? He's got a reputation and the people buy into it. People like him. He's a big problem.

He's a stick man at best. Straw man. No, stick man. Stock me in the eye, though. You're playing hangman? What didn't you do? You got him shot. Yeah, but mine was.

Was yours legal or was it also a cheap shot? I had to block a shot like 10. Stevie Y went to meet him in person. That was this a big part of why, apparently. Other teams I would talk to the agent. I thought you're talking about red. I'm like, Jesus, he stuck him after he met him. You wouldn't want to see that.

No, yes, he flew to Toronto to meet with Kane in person. Toronto, what the hell's Kane doing? I have no idea. I don't, I don't know. Detroit. All of a sudden, it's very worried about Patrick Kane. If he's choosing to be in Toronto in a spare time, there's character issues. Where's Detroit at?

Like one year in Detroit? I think it's a test drive. And I think this is... I know it's a test drive, but if you're him... Obviously, he went because of Stevie Y and the blackmail. And the brinket. The brinket's a relationship there for sure. Yeah.

And I think the other part of it is that while Detroit's playing very well... Which team? Detroit! Now, I was just saying, finish your... point. I believe that he's the type of player they're missing. They have a nice finisher into Brinkett. They've got some good depth. None of their high draftics have really turned into offensive dynamos. If Kane's going to look like the old cane, he adds to this group. And that's a big if. I do not think it's a guarantee. He was dog shit last year. He got his hips

fixed. A lot of guys are the same surgery. Never the same. We'll see. And remember that was the whole thing always going to play with Panarin again. Those two had great chemistry when they were together and it never really worked out. No, I was going to say, or maybe did it have to do more with fashion? Take a look here. Starts with Chicago. No, he didn't have a whole lot, but I mean, that's

iconic. It's one of the best jerseys, if not the best. In all sport. Just going. Then he goes to the New York Rangers. Oh, another standard. I mean, you're looking pretty good there, right? Original six. I just wonder if this was a fashion choice

because now a little Photoshop work done online. Oh, it looks good. He's going to look good. Red, look at that. I think it's that, but I also think Steve he went to him and said, listen, I've got, my phone just,

we're going to go get Hannafin and Markstrom, and we're going to be really good. Oh, Buffalo, look what you did. You could have had them all. What are you doing, Buffalo? Stevie went and told him, he said, we would bring you in, we got the forge group all sorted out now.

I got the D, I got a goaltender coming. We're right there. You need that fourth goalie. That's the key. Yeah, you know, a lion. rhyme dog and who so. We're bringing in Markstrom. Oh, Marks and the guy, though.

I mean, geez, the flames are looking so good. You can't be trading a goalie if you're in a playoff round. What do you mean? Bladar was awesome last night. That is true. And Wolfe. They got three goals. Three number ones.

Three number ones. Geez. Do you ever hear them say 1A1B1C? Like, no, you got to move one of those guys. Of riches. Embarrassment. Embarrassment. It's not plethora.

It would be a plethora, too. Yeah. Of embarrassment. A plethora of embarrassment. That should be the description of our show. Because it is a plethora. Yeah. An abundance.

Oh, my dear. Good for, I'm pumped for Kane. That's awesome. I worry about his hip. I do too. The hip is been a problem. I don't worry about his hip.

You don't? His hip's going to be his hip. It is what it is. Well, but he looked like shit with that hip last year in New York. Yeah, but he's all sorted out. He's good.

Well, and there's some names of guys that have had the hip surgery and they don't come back really well. Hopefully he bucks the turnaround. Oh, I got to pull it up now. Backstrom. Yeah. Mick Baxter in Washington.

Easy. Where's done now? Washington. Thank you. Now, how similar or dissimilar is this to the Kessler? Remember, he had the steel ball bearing put into his hip and it was disgusting. Remember seeing the- Well, it's not, that's a hip replacement.

That's a resurfacing. That's different. Gah. Rose. Yeah, gross. They can do great things with the hipth. Yeah. But they've also got.

If you're hip to it. I got some great stem cell stuff down there. In Michigan, that's where he's going. That's where the stencils. They flow like wine. Yeah. They really do. Yeah.

I'm trying to model this too. Just don't get on with the... You know, let's go. You just stick to on the... Like, this show's the long show. Starts late. Well, we really hate to get the way of your day, Fred. Um, more...

This is the shit show. Game of the night last night. Ah. And there were some good ones. Cachuck Bowl. They're in division now. Remember, Matthew goes to Florida. Same division as Ottawa.

family in attendance. I believe we had some girlfriends slash significant others in attendance, mom and dad in attendance. Was it Walt they call him? Oh man? This got spicy. Jack has built us a montage.

It's art. Now it's fired in by Hammondick. And then McEwen comes across the ice and goes after Matthew Kachuk, he'll jump on him. And now trying to get some shots on after the linesmen were already in there. Bennett now will grab McEwitt from behind.

He's pulled back down. Zach McEwen made an absolute B-line for Matthew Kuchukuch and had only one thing in mind. Well, you had to expect there was going to be some response. I mean, you come into another team's building and you're beating them and then you're poking at their goalie. Like, you gotta think there's gonna be a response of some sort. And he's talking to the bench, he's talking to his brother now and McEwen. The President has a five-minute penalty for elbowing the plays under review. new review we'll get a five minute elbowing penalty as if you see on the clip here he's going

into the corner and he takes a shot in hammondack this is not much of an elbow he comes and this is after kachuk has been messing with corpusallo giving him a pap's bumping his stick someone's head i think he just runs along the top of kuk's name shoots mafroski the safe bumps in him on the way to the neck kurok goes after kachka the momburg's in there And he ends up grabbing Alfred Lyon at the end. He was at the end of a change there. The senators were outnumbered, so he came tearing in.

Oh, there's Graham. She is not happy rats, grandma's, no. A dump out of the zone, and Brady and Chuck is coming out of the penalty box, and he snags it on the fly out of the box. And you're right, Bartz. He had, his best move was on the Norris's stick that was laying in the middle of the ice in his way. If the stick's not there, he probably has a more direct one. route to the net between the two of them make the board

skied in canada yeah you would think that Brady would have oh the sense are so popular you can't get a suite they're sold out grandma if you want to go to the game your grandson should be buying one of the things I like about this end sequence here we don't need to go

but Cachuk absolutely obviously knows what he's doing he gets out of the penalty box goes in on the breakway as he puck is stop he kind of clips Abrovsky And then just backs up to the glass, sees him coming, throws the gloves off. He's just, I'm ready. This is absolutely on.

Two minutes for roughing. No. Florida, number 12, has two minutes for roughing. And then every player on the ice has a 10-minute misconduct. Just every day. Morgan will have a two-minute power fight. All y'all, 10 minutes. For everyone.

Grandma was sour. This reminded me of my. Can I just say, I like it. six seven okay boys but it's up now we're gonna be mixing everything up it could have been worse it could have been no no it's not that there's something here you need to see so much as where is everybody and is someone not coming back together a little frustration that just communication and just not on the same page and it's just a i've stopped the rim guys bounces it back to zoom and he gets it off the dashboard he starts yeah that's not ideal hello j mckee

Hello, Jay McKee and Dee. DJ Smith's in trouble there, guys. It's almost three years since Pierre Dorian said the rebuild was over. They are like well below the flight. I shouldn't say well. It's a tight little pack. But they're like fourth from the bottom, Ottawa, with Stutzla, with Kachuk, with Zub, with Sanderson, with Shabbat.

Like, what are we doing here? There's real reason for optimism there. It does have that feel like the next coach is going to have a lot of success. There's too much talent for them not to be good. And it's just they're not there yet in terms of whether it's, it's structural or whether it's the net minding, but they, they ran the GM, Steve Steyos is in charge now. It's not his coach. It feels like a ticking time bomb.

And who's the assistant? I don't know. Is it Richardson? No, he's in Chicago. Chicago. Who the hell's the, uh, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Yeah, I just, it does feel like it's Jay McKee. DJ is it Jay McKee's job? DJ Smith. How are you breaking the news to us that you're leaving to go be an assistant coach in Ottawa? No, I would have to go work with him. I probably could have done.

that's like going to work. See, and I told this fucking guy. Work. Go coached Nanchel. No. And he moved back to Buffalo. He's right there.

And where did you have to go to work with McKee? Hamilton. Like for fuck's sakes. He's right there. Ah, maybe I got to drive or something. I don't know. Jack Capuano,

associate coach, Bob Jones, Davis Payne, Ben Sexton. Jay McKee. What the hell I got to do? Get this guy. Dino's a great.

guy. Who? Eveson. You know. You'd like Everson. Yeah, let's go to that right now. Dean Eveson is on our talk about list. He got run yesterday by

Belgarin and the Wilde and has had this to say. I'm so thankful to have been given the opportunity to work with the Minnesota Wild organization, especially the amazing fan base for the last few years. That is a very high road way to go when you get fired. Bill Garan spoke about it. I like the coach. I think it's a great coach.

But sometimes it's just you need a new voice and a new message for a group that isn't quite right. The goalies have played to about 880s, a percentage. Caprice Aves is shooting half of his career average in terms of shooting percentage. Sometimes it's just a change for the sake of change, sadly. All that dead cap money we talked about

yesterday or the day before. Didn't hurt him last two years. They had 113 hundred and three points. It's crazy. It's the same group as last year. They didn't really lost anyone. They traded Fiala for that Faber kid. He's already playing. He's a good defenseman. Hamilton. Hamilton. I don't know what the hell you're talking. I'm saying you could, you should have like,

I don't go to Hamilton. Don't let him boss you around. He's getting in. If you'd have gone and worked with cheese, you'd be in the friggin' show here right away. We are putting the cart a little bit ahead of the horse. Are we? Jamie Key has not been hired and doing that.

It's a job yet, just for the record. How many times am I right on this ship? I'm not saying you're wrong. You are right. And who did you call? Was it, uh, well, Suts. He had Tippett getting gun. No, and I had Maurice leaving.

Yeah. Yeah. Tippett was one. And then, you're a coach. It was a heater. Whisper. Yeah, seriously. Who'd they hire?

Who hire? Minnesota. They did hire. Oh, man. I had that tweet and I didn't sense it. Who hire? It's not important, Red. Okay.

It's not. All you need to know is that there's been a firing. John Hines is there. Patrick Dwyer comes in as they relieved one of the assistants as well. So it's John Hines and Patrick Dwyer that'll be the. Patrick Dwyer. Wow. That ain't going to work.

As an assistant? I'd rather have Steve Heinz. I'd rather have Steve Heinz. John Heinz can beat it. Did he wear 57? Heinz? Is that right? No, I don't. Well, I don't think so.

I don't know. We'll move along. It is hockey fights cancer month. So around the league, we are seeing teams with the purple ring signs and supporting the fight against cancer, which is important to everyone. It's, you don't have to go far. And then, of course, there's the, we can make a joke because, yes, of course, Nikolai

Eelers, I think that is, shaved the hockey fights cancer into his hair. How cool is that? How big is the fine going to be? Dan at hockey fights is asking the league has gotten in their own way on some stuff lately. The leagues are, I mean. It's embarrassing. Yeah. Okay.

We'll move. Football last night. Another primetime game, another under wild that we continue to see primetime games that only underset. We should be wealthy living on islands now, fellas. 59% on the season unders. Prime time game 76% or Monday night, 13 and 1 to the under. Whoa.

Your next chance to make money on an under Thursday night. What's our game, Jack? It is the Seattle's and the Dallas's. Here's everyone counting their under. It's not going under then. Dallas. That's what everyone says. Oh, yeah, the unders are not tonight, though.

Well, I was curious when you said they were 13 and one on the month. Monday nighters. And when's your next chance? Next Monday? Well, the prime time games Thursday. Yeah, there it is. Seattle, Dallas, Thursday nights in Dallas. 46. And they have been an over machine of late, Dallas. We'll see. I'll take the under. Look at you picking things up. Hey, I'm just listening to you. I'm listening to the Pinder Report.

Finally, we talked about it. Don't forget your nugs. If you're at the game last night, head down to Greta. I know, do you talked about that? Another reminder there. If we order of nugs, it's proof of admission. Anytime the flames win an OT at home, there's going to be a little treat from Greta, you want to go redeem that. Number 98, denied. Here's a little, we're on the Jumbotron.

Maybe get a little bold. Some people, they get a little nervous. Other people are like, this is my moment. I'm going to make it. Let's watch. It's a young Rett and the shoveler, their first day to think. Good hair, Rhett. They're on the Jumbetron.

They don't know. Oh, look. We're on the screen. Hey, there we are. Yeah, sweet. I wonder if I should, let's give it a good. Oh, no, he was going to tell her a secret. No, no.

Anyway, I got to go. I'm actually moving cities. I don't live here anymore. Bye. Hi, my soul's just been crushed. I'm just going to leave. Oh, dear. But it's the first quarter.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, I got it. This is over. I've changed my name and move to a new state. I'm going to see you later. Finally, otters are assholes, maybe even dicks. Erie otters? No, geez.

These ones. Look at this. Fearless otters appear to be teasing. and crocodile with missing tail. Jerks. Imagine me a crocodile on no tail. And these little shits are, hey, nice tail, buddy.

No, I'm on Team Otter there. I don't like the crock. I don't need the cry. I'd be, I'd be doing the same thing. Here, where's your tail, stupid? My buddy, where'd you leave your tail? Beef always wanted to have an otter living at the house.

You wanted to buy like a big, a big aquarium. It would be terraric. I just watched them kind of like clean themselves and spin around and splash around. He always thought that'd be great. They're very happy. They're very happy.

Yeah, you can't have that in your house. I like animals, though. That is true. How many dogs you have to? A couple. Yeah. You didn't want to go visit your dog yesterday. You could have seen your dog.

No, he was, it was, it was on my end. Okay. I won't, uh, could you stop prying? Stop berating him. That's your pinned report, otters. Awesome. That's it. Depending on.

That's the kicker to end the, I know. Water. Usually. Swing and a myth. Didn't like the otters being dickheads. It wasn't even a video. It was nothing. It was just kind of a stupid picture.

It was half fast. If anything, the kiss cam would have been the way to end that. Yeah, you could end it right there. And probably just to take the otter thing and just delete it all. Don't even use it. Don't even use it. Damn, these guys are hard markers today.

You don't want, Jack? Some of this is on you. You know better. Yesterday we had like 15 kicks. You need some quality control. No, we didn't need that. I used all the kickers yesterday.

That was a late ad too. that was a yeah we had the guy we had the guy with getting the ketchup uh the the the nap he got woken up with all the food on him we had the ice tennis we had the ice tennis is no good either baseball coach conversation being a fucking winner is the hardest fucking thing you can do i like that one today we had the beers amboni big buffed pro fisherman we just wasted all we blew our load yesterday anyway move along that's uh some unnamed segment by an unassociated brand new in stock inventory arriving daily Start your automotive adventures at VillageHond. A new vehicle pricing is MSRP, which is most sorry about Ryan Pinder for VillageHond. Your dealership for life. Major, major. Major, so sorry. So sorry.

Now, this is from you. You sent me a little thing this morning. Well, I mean, you got to celebrate the people in your life, Dean, especially the ones you hold close to you and the ones that are dear to you. That's right. On this date in, see, this hurts. How young these people are? Yes. We're fucking old, man. And you guys are older than me. Blake Coleman was born in 1991. 90s kid, eh? I was dominating. Oh, graham. You're dominating which? What? High school. Yeah. Coolest kid, best hockey player. Straten around. Making out with the hottest chicks. Look out. Ady boy. God. Almighty.

Is that, I mean, geez, can that be right? Mm-hmm. It's not wrong. Born in 91 makes you 32. Oh, he's old.

Jack, how old are we? Can you be honest with us? Like, you work with us. How can old are we? Is your brain fully developed? No. Oh, my.

I think he's 24. How old we are? Sofa. Sofa king old. That's how old we are. Blake Coleman. from Plano, Texas, born in this date in 1991, was a third round pick of the New Jersey Devils,

and then went on to the Tampa Bay Lightning's. First rounder. And scored big goals, was a big player for them. He and Gord and Barclay Godreau were a massive part of one of those two championship runs back to back. They were in the line. Barclay is now in New York, Gord's in Seattle, Coleman's and Calgary.

The Tampa's have won nothing since. great return you good for him. If not for the contract. What's he got left? Five years? No. It'll be three. It'll be three.

Two years left. I guess it depends if you include this one or not. It was a six year pact and this is year four. So two and a half. He is leading your Calgary Flames and goals this year. So he's feeling good. No hipfish issues there. How many goals did he have last year?

I would guess he would have been in around that 14 to 18. lots of wide birth but 19. He had 18 goals last year. That's terrible. Oh. Why can't we have expectations for people?

Like 18? I just think if I'm building expectations for human, I'm going to look at their career norms and work off those. That's right around what you get. He gets his head over 20 for sure, but this is in the 30 goal guy. I get what you're saying.

By all means, exceed expectations. but this is who he is. If he's going to have a good year, he's going to go 20 to 25. You're paying him too after much money. I don't disagree with that. Six years, probably too much term too. He had 21 goals in 57 games the year he was dealt from New Jersey. 21.

21 in 57, then went to Tampa Bay and. 21 a career high or did we beat that? 22. 22 is a career high. 18's not way off that. And now he has six. If we're going to break down his. Turn your, just face it.

What? There you go. You're not, you're talking. you sound like this Christ sakes. You can't get mad at me because people are listening to it. Don't get mad at me. Just please do it. Don't interrupt me when I'm talking.

I don't interrupt you. Well, we can't hear you. Go ahead. What were we talking about? I don't know. The thing about Blake Coleman. Oh, yeah. Goals.

Right. When he's in Tampa, he's not playing to score a goal. No, he's on a third line checking line. And scores a shit loan. But he should be more here. They brought him in to B more. here not to be the shutdown guy i think true living when they announced the deal he was sober when i saw the press conference he looks pretty sober but he said look this he may have been

the third line with gordon park like could draw but they were on the ice a ton in that playoff friend they played in key moments they had big goals yes which is a really polite way of saying like 20 to 25 third line was playing really well 20 to 25 which is what he's on pace for that's great 20 to 25. He's got six. They're at the quarter pole. You do the math. Six and 22.

Six times four is 24. Dean, can you back check them? That's, uh, mostly close. Mostly correct. Yeah.

It was the timing as much as what you said. It was how quickly you got up with time. Timing. It's all about timing. It's all about timing. I was drunk. It's drunk. So what do you do then?

Do you think is he still? Is he still got it? Can you get them back to 2022 goal? goals? He's going to get 24 or Pender just told me. No, I said there's no pace to be right in the range you're asking for you. Like, God damn it. Why can't he get a status? Like, that's exactly what he's trending towards.

And all this trending BS. No, it's a good start. He's leading the team of goals, which is probably more of an indictment of other people, but it's... Yeah, that's probably not a good thing. No, and again, he's on your third line checking line. He's still playing the same role. He's playing in town. He's not on the second line. Let him play with the put up with Lindholm, that cranky

SOB. Is he any good? I don't know. he looks better with backland what backland have been great together i'm saying coleman yeah i'm talking about the other guy we switched to lindholm pay attention no you said move him to play with lindholm yeah and i said i said he's coding yeah but no lindholm hasn't been great i yeah i know where you're going here um and nice little run there for a bit but kind awful start have you noticed them not as much as you'd hoped certainly not a nine million dollar player if if you're just watching and scouting and i'm sure there's little things and this and that. Then he plays both special teams and big minutes.

But no, like he's not a $9 million player. This is not a star in the league. This is a really good second liner on a championship team. Maybe it's good for him. Maybe he can look in the mirror and go, you know what? This is who I am. Like go put him. Six.

Go put him on the second line in Colorado or one of the places like that. No, no. Stay here. Six. Six and a half. Six and a half sounds fair. That inflation, though, is going to get you, right? He's not going to like six.

Not after nine was on the table, no. No. So anyway, is this a possibility like, Adam Hall, oh my God. Taylor? Wow. Is this guy had a lobotomy last night? Like, how many guys of whiskey?

Adam Hall. Oh, play. Of all the people named Hall, I'd have to go for a long time before I'd land on Adar. Scott Hall. Monty Hall. That's the best one. You're on top of that.

Great saber. Arsenial Hall. Wow. But is there a sudden, like, there have been guys that overplayed their hand. Taylor Hall being one thing, he was going to get, right? Cash in. Well, and the story isn't written, though. That's the whole thing is that no matter what happens between now and the deadline,

he's going to most likely be on a contender in a role that's better suited for who he is, surrounded with more talent, and in a spot to really showcase what he is not on a Calgary team where he's trying to be a number one center. Like people are going to look at that too. They don't just say, oh, he was bad in Calgary. We can't give him this money. Like, no, you're going to be on a contender. You can lift some hardware this year.

This story isn't over. If he's the unbelievable player in a postseason run, they went a cup or something. Like, fuck, he's going to get paid. One of the guys. That stands out to me as a guy that overplayed his hand and left big money was John Klingberg. Big time, yes.

Remember, he was in Dallas. He was in Dallas. He was in Dallas. and wanted clink he wanted what's his name? He wanted quote Hasekenen money. He wanted Hayskin and he's about six years older than Hayskin. And they offered, made me into a very fair offer. And now he's bounced to Anaheim and now Toronto.

Back to back one year deals and now he's on LTIR. I think he had like a six times six-ish thing and he was hoping for like eightish. Yeah, he wanted going to say. And so instead he's gotten two one-year deals and it's like you just left 30 plus million on the table. fellas fellas gush that'll keep you up at night

for me it's the heartburn for him it would be the regret it might just the heartburn it may cause him heartburn though he might have moldy sewer gut presentation of McLeodlaw Happy birthday Blake Coleman

That's what that was Hey that was a happy birthday segment That's what that was This Day in Flames history Brought to you by McLeod Law Feliciano So it was Peter Klein

McLeod Law great guy. We might see him today. Is that right? We don't know the legal matter. We're okay. So, do you have a disability insurance claim you need to get? Because that would be.

Some kind of a sport court and hitting golf balls and shooting hoops. Probably have some ungulates on the property if you wanted, some cows or horses or whatever. That is, but yeah, probably got them.

Going with hooves. Stanley Cup rings. As we mentioned, he's wildly overpaid for the production that he's giving to the Calgary Flames. And again, because Trillivin was drunk. He was drunk when he made the deal. And the cheerleader thing is okay. Seems like fun people.

Yeah. The Coleman seemed like good people. If you want to play in Texas, better a fiddle in the band. Leave guitar is hot. You can't laugh because that's exactly what he was going for. I mean, that's, you just kind of slide it in. I'm not supposed to get those.

I know you're not. You are. I'm actually impressed. See? But then he started to laugh at himself. He was so happy that he got it. I blacked out. I don't know.

I know. Yeah. I was like, well, now, of course, that's the country artist known as. The nitty, Grady, dirty, man. Go sit outside. I don't know if I'm right wrong. Go sit outside.

We got just a few a few last things we're going to take care of. You're going home tomorrow. Are you? Well, he lives day to day. Let's not go, don't peg him into a hole here. There's a lot of beer to be drank tonight. If I don't make my flight,

so be it. And that's what the universal want. If he misses his flight, he was meant to miss this for. Exactly. I'm not going to get into the way of the energies. The universe.

Fate of the universe. The only reason I'm, I ask, and it's fine, is just getting the questions in for Ask Ret. Oh. For Bon Ton, usually on Thursday. But I'm saying, but if you miss that flight, then for sure you're going home Thursday. Oh, it can't have that. That's all.

I'm just trying to get a gauge because if you're going home tomorrow, then we're good to go. Get me to the airport then. Get me to the airport. He's marching a ride here. Are you staying at the Strathmore hotels or some sort of a fancy? Oh, they got a Best Western shit out there for sure. There's some old saloon, something with a piano. I told them to get a couch.

I don't need a fancy hotel, sleeping the couch in the back. Tapper and what's down. I'm trying to think of what they got in the back there. We're missing about, you can sleep on a few pallets of the malt they got back there. Sterling, we have a problem. We're missing 100 hectal liters. I don't know what happened. No one's been in here since Rett's slept over.

We're missing. I'm doing the math here with $25,000 worth of beer. Rifles some out of the back. Yeah. Under the faucet like Barney the whole night. Bonton Meets proudly present. Ask Ret every Thursday on Barnburner. You can get your questions in for Rhett,

Caj and turkey, by the way. you missed out. That was a banger. So good. Yeah. So email, ask red at flamesnation.ca. And only ask correct questions because I think now the email address out there, now people are peppering with all kinds of other dumb shit.

Such as. Oh, Hey, if you're, you look, guys looking for, don't. No,

we're not looking for any of shingles. I got a, I stole a bunch of shingles. You bought to buy some shingles. Oh, we're good. God damn shing. Is this a question for rest?

How much? How many and how much? I'll pick them. Up at 11.30. Didn't someone have some brick that? You had brick that you were like, get it off my front lawn. Remember when you're building your house like eight years ago? And then someone going to go.

Brick. Didn't they come get him? Yep. Yeah. It's a good deal for brick. Free is always good. Free's not right price for brick. Jack, are we going to do Betway or what?

Jack. He's checking out the Steelers website right now. No. No, it's as fast as friggin trade deadline. Trade deadline. I just made a trade. What you do? Okay.

So this is a keeper league. PPR? So it off half point PPR. sold off Aaron Jones for a fourth and then the guy gets my six so Jones and a six for a fourth so you're not putting much stock in Jones which is fair he's hurt he's not putting this year

You know what?

The Dallas D as well. Yeah. Yeah. They've been steeped. They've walloped some teams here. And their schedule. And their Thursday, Seattle. This is interesting.

Because the schedule is going to be great for DAC. Well, and you're getting all those defensive touchdowns, too, with that guy that's got six. You know who's coming to Buffalo? Dallas Cowboys. Patrick Kane? No. Arsenio Hall.

Yes. This guy that run the butcher, but we know. Really? that you just talked about? The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker? He does it all. Is he really? Dallas.

December 17th. Of course, he is a big Cowboys honk. December 17th. Are you going with him? That'd be great. I think I'm out of town. Oh, see, nice. Real nice.

He didn't invite me anyway. He just said I'm coming. Oh, okay. I'm going to be in town. Oh, all right. Jack, are we going to do Betway? Let's go, Jack. Let's do it.

Jesus. Fressed. Betway up on your phone or your tablet. or your laptop or your desktop and start to play along. Like last night with that scintillating football game, is this going to be 3-3 all night? Or may we get another field? You're a Bears fan.

What are they doing? They've got theoretically picks one and four if the season were to end today and they've got fields. Are you drafting a quarterback? Listen, you can't when they're winning. When you're that strong and you're winning football games, you can't tell the guys what to do. I'm saying when you get to the job,

draft you draft in a quarterback win all you want i want the receiver mike harrison marvin junior yeah fuck that quarterback sitting in the stands crying into mummy's shoulder okay out even if you're not sold on fields you're not taking that guy okay interesting f that trade down get up more assets here we go boom boom cat look at this boom cat what stealers oh the bills did they ever screw you. Yeah, the Steelers cover obviously against the Bengals. Denver. I don't know what's going on in Denver.

No, they're not, but there you talk about teams winning football games. Sean Payton's even smiling and laughing and press conferences. And I had Buffalo plus three. I could have sworn I had Philly. Let's go back to the picks. I mean, I will have the board from last week. I trust you, but I thought I had the Eagles.

It was like a rep. Jack looks a little sheepish. Do you think I had the Eagles? Just go back in. go back in time. We'll have the board from Friday. I'll have my email. So you guys can now talk to amongst yourself.

Yeah, okay. We'll go to mine and there's your job. Allegedly a two. Great job. So you're either 18. Look at this. We're coming back to 500 boys. Another two in one week.

We're on a heater since we went opposite George. If we know one thing about my gut, it's almost always wrong about NFL football. And that led us to the Miami Dolphins minus nine and a half. Kansas City minus eight and a half. Too many points. Too many points? Nope, wrong.

Which means I was right. And New Orleans did not do well against Atlanta. That division sucks. I see South. I had the bills. Yeah. You cheat. Damn it.

You're not cheating. You're not trying. But I had two and one for both of us, Dean. That's, don't apologize for making people money, okay? I thought I had the bears. Please don't apologize for making people money. Wait,

did you have the bears? Someone had the money. I had it in there. Retro, read it. I had the fucking Monday, no, I wasn't that good.

I can hardly see it. Miami, great, Buffalo. Total screw job again. It was. And my boys from, what was the reason?

Texas. He wouldn't let me take Dallas, so I had to take Houston. Yeah, Dallas already played. That was one of the reasons. It was a bit of an issue you picking them that the results.

I was pretty sure I switched that out for the Baltimore. And they will move along. Jack, how are your picks? That's pretty good for Jack. Not a bad week. He got screwed by Atlanta, eh?

Yeah, the saints suck. They really do. He sucks. They suck. The Jack analysis is the jack cam is just a quick this person sucks that person sucks So there you go what's that record 14 and 19 yeah that's last place what's the word you use yesterday go show room to prove jack put some time and effort into it please three to four hours a week please so again it's not about necessarily Using our picks we just see the fun we have with it that's what we're saying have fun like us three of the four guys went two and one what are we talking about and also

So I'm just saying 14 and 19. It's been a really good month here. Ass, right? That's going to have you sleeping on the street. I hope not. You shouldn't be betting out on our money. Not if you bet the responsible way. That's right.

Go to the Betway. Bet the responsible way with Betway. How are you feeling over there? I'm okay. Doesn't sound like it. Heavy breathing, gurgling gut, deep size. What hell's going on?

You're going down? You're going down? It ended up being a late finish last night. How long did you guys? 7.30 start. Then I got to go to frigging overtime and right to the end of overtime. It was probably worth the wait if you were there, but I see you. And then Jack drags his ass getting us on. Oh, I bet you was Jack to.

Yeah, it was frigging late by the time we got off the air. Is that what you call it? Sure. Off the atmosphere. Off the web. I never know what to call it. Off the internet. Off the YouTube. Off the YouTube's. DoorDash. Menu. What's on the menu tonight for DoorDash?

What are you feeling? You're back in town. This is interesting for you because you're such a food, food, food, food, food, food, food. you think about Calgary food for months and months and months without having it. How has this been in your two months or two days here? Wow. Didn't have anything. You loaded up with Greg, obviously. Yeah, you guys are supposed to put in a good word for me. No.

No. You didn't. I went out for some earls yesterday. Restaurants, grocery, pharmacies, bakeries, flour shops, and more. DoorDash has everything you need. Have it delivered right to your door. Get what you want, when you want. want it. That's how DoorDash works. And for a limited time, you will save 25% on your first order.

Zero delivery fees. $15 and more on the first order. That's all they ask. When you download the DoorDash app and enter the promo code Nation 25, Nation 25 to kick in that unbelievable deal. What's on the menu for DoorDash? A couple items for you, friends. Raptors and Brooklyn and the NBA, it's an in-season tournament game, Jack, which means we're going to have the funky floor. going on in Brooklyn 530. Tip off there, Brooklyn favor by a point in a half. And then why not take another view of defending Stanley Cup champs? They're up the road in the cultural capital.

And the cultural capital? Oh, Edmonton, yeah, you've ever been? What a place. Can't wait to get back. It's been a while, obviously. He thought you meant Buffalo, like the cultural capital. No, that's the Queen City. The Cultural Capital.

Abington. The Queen City was Regina. There's a lot of Queen Cities. I think also Cincinnati is the Queen City as well. Cincinnati. Why is Buffalo a Queen City? Who's Queen? Is her Queen of Buffalo?

Is her the Queen of Buffalo these days? Because Rob Ray wrote a schedule out when I was playing there. And then he wrote back to Queen City. And I was like, I want to Regina? Are you on Regina? Playing the Pats? What are you doing?

Yeah, like Regina was the name of a queen at some point? Maybe that makes sense. I don't know. Buffalo is not the name of a queen. But we don't know that. I don't recall Queen Buffalo. but you're right i don't i can't say she'd be hot though yeah it depends of you're into hey i don't know like i'm a little more musly than there's

Nation 25, Nation 25. You should do it. I would if I were you. Dash that for the win.

Dash that for the win with DoorDash. DoorDash. Originally called Queen City for being the largest and most prosperous city along the great lakes. Really? That was the big old look at us. Fancy Pants City was Buffalo back in the day. That's a way back. It was at one point, the second largest trade port in the north after New York City.

James. I had water, I'd do a spit day. Yeah, because that's unbelievable. My mind's blown with knowledge. We probably have to end the show now. We can't top that. Now, what about Cincinnati? The otters.

You have to think about otters. It's an otter emergency. And you tried to play it up because of beef. like you are adding to the Well, you know what? It's what a teammate does. You try and, you know, I think you have to point out when a teammate's making a mistake and let them now be on. When they're drowning, just let them drown.

Why is Cincinnati called the Queen City? This is from the Cincinnati Inquirer. This is the worst. Jeff Seuss, the writer. Of all the shit, we could be Googling right now. Hop on pop. Cincinnati has been known as the Queen City since at least 1819. Sorry.

That's when the nickname first made it into news. newspapers, but it was probably already passed around on the streets. It's also when Cincinnati, founded in 1788 was first incorporated city. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Do you have a hammer? Distinguished for an older enterprise public spirit of liberal. Yep, okay, done. Because if you have a hammer.

You, do, where's your shovel? Could you hit me in the head with it? Oh, my God. This is a really tough segue now. Oh, how are we going to. Jack, what do I do now? Like how, do you have the, do we have the pre tape? No, we don't have it.

Dardash, how much is Cain going to have to give Sprong for 88? This is the question. So Kane's got his number. Daniel Sprong's got it and winged wheel. What's it going right? And Sprong has not made a shit ton of money. This is kind of fine career earnings. Well, it's two things, right?

If you're a D-Bag, you make them pay a bunch of, of money. If you're classy, you go here, buddy. And what about from Keynes perspective? If you're a D-Bank, you probably, I don't want to pay. If you're a classic guy, maybe just scratch, like, Keynes made over $100 million. If Sprong says here, this is yours, you give, it's like having a good server.

If they do it really, yeah, you're not asking for it. Yeah. Like, Sprong's not walking in, making a list, like, and checking it twice, like, not any nice. It should be here. Seasonal, seasonable. Here, Mr. Cain, you Hall of Famer, we're pumped to have you.

I don't need anything. Should be the answer. And then Cain goes, says, Daniel, what a great guy. That's great things about you. Daniel, let's go for them. See, you've got kids. Here's a college fund for them. Here's some frankincense and mer.

Yes. And a check for a hundred grand. Which you may use on silver bells or. Dan, you need any help hanging those stockings care no okay he's made four and a half million that's not a lot all things considered that's more than i mean it's been doing not a lot it's like you start over here and let's be honest how much of that four and a half you get and i mean it's less than half tax for you over a number of years how much the agent take there you tricks greasy off the top right before you even see it

yeah oh yeah they're not way and you don't know how much work they've done it's just kind of a blanket. Maybe Daniel Sprong's agent was grinding for weeks and weeks to find a deal. He's a Dutch player. Dutch? From Holland.

Who are the names? That's in Denmark. And what is Holland? Netherlands, the Netherlands. And who are the Dutch? This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at BetterHelp.com slash Flames Nation and get on your way.

Got some news here. You got a grimace to your face. I'm a little bit worried. No, no, I mean, it's kind of the ongoing soap opera. We don't really know what's going on.

Hints? Corey Perry. Oh, CP. Well, I've seen a lot of shit on the internet. Lots. And we don't know what's real and what's not, but, hey, if anyone knows, it's the internet, right? Mm-hmm.

On waivers, unconditional waivers, for the purpose of terminating his contract. Eh. well, where did you think it was going? Here, I mean, you'd have to have grounds for termination, I would think. I don't know, or you just mutually agree. I think you mutually agree. We don't know what happened, but yeah, some of the things that have been spun out there,

that would make sense. Let it go. Batica. Have you seen some of the stuff they're talking about on the internet? I know you're on social media. Don't read the comment section. Don't bring it out. Don't be TMZ or whatever.

I'm not doing it. I feel bad I asked Frank about it yesterday. I mean, that's an unwinnable spot. That was a bad move by me to ask. To be fair, that was before I'd seen any of that, the rumor mill rolling. It was more like, hey, what's happening? Like, is he fighting with the team?

Is the coach pissed? Like, is he upset about losing? You knew it was some unique scenario. Yes, the more we talked about personal reasons, then both parties sort of tried to indicate it was their decision to leave. Like, uh, something happened here. Oh, I'm choosing to leave to attend to a personal.

Actually, uh, we asked him to leave. before he said that. Oh. Well, something weird must have happened. Well, I'm leaving. Power play philosophies. I'm hungry. I don't have concepts and movement personnel.

I should probably eat something. Yeah, get that stomach of ears to shut up. Get something to figure it out. See tonight. So does Perry get a job again? Is that it based now on that what we're hearing? I would think, you think about his draft class? That was the epic draft class?

I don't know anyone else left. Like, he's that old kind of thing. But you know what he is? I just mean at this point of his career, if he's 40, it's a Babcock scenario now, too. You go. It may be. We at least know what Babcock did.

We only have wild speculation on this one. It's not good, though. I don't know. Usually when things like this, whatever it is, I don't need specifics. It's not a. Doesn't probably build his team guy vibe. 38 years old. That's it.

He had four goals and nine points in, in 16 games in Chicago. Well, that's what I'm saying is aside for maybe being a... People thought he was dead when he went to Montreal in the bubble year. Went all the way to the final. I know. Some waivers that year. You could have had him for like $900 grand.

I think you said get him. I think I did. Certainly if it looked good, I did say it. If it was wrong, probably didn't say that. Yeah, that's how that goes. That's a wild story, though. If it's true. Well, which one?

You're not going to talk about it. Now we've spent five minutes. We're talking about it without talking about it. Which story? We're allowed to talk about it. Which one? Well, this whole Corey Perry thing. Well, there's two different stories I've heard.

Well, what have you heard? We're not talking about it. Oh. What a show this is. Brett, you're probably ready to go home about now, hey? That's about it. Bye, buddy. Got your quota.

So we can see it, Strathmore. Again, enjoy the beer. Five sold out. Don't just show up. We got bad news for it if you just show up. If you've got an RSVP, we can't wait to see you. There it is. I would like to have some sort of an idea of what we're going to do.

Then buy me lunch and we can discuss. Oh. That's probably too busy for that. Well, he's hungry. Actually, yeah, I got it one. I got, yeah. I'm in for that. Because I can't do the thing.

I want to do you not read our text change? He doesn't respond. I have to verify things the next day. We're the verbal. This is the problem with society. Things get lost in translation. Well, but here's the thing. You don't live here.

It's tough to do verbal when you're in Buffalo. you five days a year. Hey, how's it going, Rhett? Great to hear from you. I hate the phone. Do you?

Yeah. You hate everything, though. Most things. That's right. Yeah, most things. I love gravy. You do like your dogs?

And dogs and your house. Do you know what they say in the house? My kids and my wife? Yeah. You know what dad loves? Dogs and Christmas. That's it. Love Christmas.

You like Christmas. Love Christmas. Come on. Let's get out. I got all the decorations up. I got called crunch the other day. Wow. Well, you're at, I can see that. Yeah, dogs.

December 1 is the Christmas light cutoff. You know what the problem for you is that you're very selfish. Yeah. Worry about you and Christmas is kind of supposed to be a. It's about others. Yeah. And you are very. But I'm other people for other people, right?

You're very self-centered and self-focused. Do you give yourself presents to Ryan from Ryan? I wonder what it could be. Dush bag. I'm a big material guy. You're a material girl. I like lots of things. I live in a material world because Ryan's a material girl.

What's this December 1 thing? You're making rules for people now? I was just kidding rather right because the Christmas lights weren't up. And I'm like, it's not even December 1st yet. Like I'm on side with December 1st, they better be fired up and going. Oh, I see. I hope December 1st, it is 8 million degrees below zero. And like you can think about things outside of your little things.

perfectly organized box. It's true. It's probably just really more procrastination than anything else. It's 100% you being a lazy ass. Oh, have you not put your Christmas lights up yet? They weren't on on the 25th bright enough. So we needed to, it was an emergency code red

situation. I thought, you know, there is still a bit of runway here before Christmas arrives. You know what you've done that's really thought of? Started an argument before we even Yeah, that's good.

Anyway, I just thought to give some context there. Now I come across looking like a winner, right? Yeah, a big winner. Yeah. Never backfire. That's going to do it. I'm talking about me on the show day. Oh, really?

I don't remember that. Kate, bye. Pinder's going to be very. Gotta go. Pender will be very hungover tomorrow. And when Pender's hungover, the show is even better. So if you'll not be on. If you like today's, you're going to love tomorrow's.

I don't know today. Today's was dog shit. The Pender port was awful. No, I'm just saying. He didn't mention your curling to the people that didn't. Yeah, how about the curling? We had a 2-0 lead after two ends. Spares are great.

All I need is figure out a draw weight instead of rammed through the house or leave him as a guard. It was brutal. Are you the skip? That's the problem, man. Of course you are. Of course. I mean, why did I ask? Well, we're all green as hell.

It's been three or four years now. It's curling. Yeah. Then everyone else has been played for 33 or four years. Yeah. Our spares had some great hair. I was excited. They've got.

They've got K. One of them looked like Paul McLean, that big walrus duster. He was awesome. What do you mean, spares? Well, because the fellas, it's a Christmas party season, these guys couldn't make it. We had two regulars and two people we never met before, curled with us. What? People you don't know, I'm, had to.

Spares, you can't show up, you can't just be disqualified for not fielding the team. The only reason you would do it is to be with your good buddies and then they don't show up and you're having the golf with their golf. One guy. One guy. One guy, battling a little health issues, so we wish him well. the other guy was out of town on work. I'm not blaming those people. I'm blaming you. I have six guys in the roster. How many more guys do I need here?

I got to get spares if I can't feel to see you. What a horrendous idea. And you're trying to sell him on playing curling? They're getting into curling. No, I just say he's a hobby. He's a hobby. How did you get into curling? He's a part of the hoopty-do club.

It's the hoop-dy-do. I can do tennis of the hoopty-do club. I can do them. The hoopty-do club down there. It's part of it. It's ironic. good chance to get around buddies once a week. And again, he's selfish and hates his families

when he can't be at home and spending time doing Christmas lights. Have a good show, everyone. Not a lot, not a lot. See you, buddies. Stop.
